Why Choose Steroid Injections for Scar Treatment?

Effective Scar Management: Steroid injections are proven to flatten and soften raised scars, making them less noticeable and more comfortable. Minimally Invasive Procedure: The treatment involves a series of small injections directly into the scar tissue, making it a minimally invasive option with little to no downtime. Reduction in Discomfort and Itching: Besides improving the scar’s appearance, these injections can significantly reduce any pain, discomfort, or itching the scar may cause. Prevents Scar Progression: Regular treatments can prevent the scar from growing larger and more pronounced, especially in the early stages of scar formation. Dr. Barney Gordon at Shellharbour Skin brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach to each treatment. Dr. Barney Gordon at Shellharbour Skin administers each steroid injection with precision, ensuring the best possible outcome. He understands the impact that prominent scars can have on an individual’s self-esteem and comfort, making him dedicated to achieving results that not only improve the look of the scar but also enhance overall skin health and patient well-being.
